Answer:

The probability is 0.4909

Step-by-step explanation:

The following equation for nCk give as the number of ways in which we can select k elements from a group of n elements:

nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Then, there are 220 ways in which we can select 3 candies from the 12 that are in the pack. It is calculated as:

12C3=\frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!}=220

On the other hand, there are 108 different ways to select the 3 candies in which they are all different flavors. It is calculated as:

4C3 * 3C1 * 3C1 * 3C1 = 108

Because, 4C3 give us the number of ways to select 3 flavors from the 4 flavors. From this 3 flavors selected, we are going to select one candie from each one, so we multiply 3 times by 3C1, one for each flavor.

Finally, the probability is the division between the number of ways in which we can select 3 candies with different flavors and the total number of ways in which we can select 3 candies from the 12 in the pack. This is:

P=\frac{108}{220}=0.4909

The domain is about how far left-to-right the graph goes.
In relation to the x-axis, the graph starts at x = –3 (with an open circle at –3) and then continues over to the right forever.
This is the shown in the picture with the red markup.
In interval notation, this is (-3, infinity).

Remember to use that left-to-right orientation for interval notation!

The range is in turn about how low to how high the graph goes.
On the graph, I’d do the same thing I did on the red marked up graph and compare the graph to the y-axis.
The graph starts down at y = –5 (with an open circle at –5) and then continues on up forever.
In interval notation, this is (-5, infinity).

The area of a rectangle is 82.84 square meters. If the length is 7.6 meters what is the width?
alexandr1967 [171]
The width is 10.9. When you need to find the length or width when you have the area you divide the area by given number you have so for this problem you divide 82.84 by 7.6 to get 10.9 meters.
